Acetaminophen Side Effects and Mechanism of Action

This is a super simple way to learn pharmacology faster and easier in nursing school, step by step. It will help you understand how Acetaminophen actually works inside your body, the critical thinking and WHY behind the side effects, so you can start applying what you are learning. That way on your nursing school exams, you will be able to critically think and work thorough those NCLEX style questions.

Acetaminophen mechanism of action: The true MOA is not fully understood, but it is thought to inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins which are the main component responsible for pain, inflammation, and fever within the CNS. It is thought that acetaminophen only affects the prostaglandins in the CNS not systemically which is why it does not help with inflammation.

Acetaminophen side effects: Most side effects occur from IV form of Acetaminophen. GI upset can happen when taking acetaminophen. Increased LFT's can occur because the liver is where acetaminophen is metabolized. A Rash or Stevens-Johnson Syndrome can happen with hypersensitivity reactions.
